Not to sure about radiohead winning it! great album and would be in my top 20.

Think i'd have gone for definitely maybe but i love oasis far to much. Then again, at least they didn't put a beatles album number 1!

Aye. It's that or The Remote Part for my favourite album. It's always like that at the moment for me. Crows or Idlewild? I change my mind daily.

Edit: I've just remembered it was you that got me into the Crows.

Ta :)

Omaha is still my favourite track.

Perhaps Paranoid Android and Karma Police etc is deeper (and I like it alot) but I find Like Spinning Plates and Knives Out far more personal and touching. Thus Amnesiac is my favorite.

*However I never did get No Suprises...


Something good about Radiohead is that you can take out just about anyone of their albums and find atleast 5 good songs that you really enjoy.

Out of all the people who are complaining here, how many voted for Jeff Buckley?

None you say? Oh. And all your other "He should be higher" claims, they're backed up with nothing.

Basically Radiohead fans can be bothered to vote and will put the effort in (cultish) whereas everyone else can't be bothered and is secure enough in their own taste.

Prime example is my best friend. He's a Radiohead nut and insists they are the be all and end all and wont stop shoving them down my throat until I put a 22" tatoo over my body. They are one of my top 5 bands, but perhaps Radiohead fans can't just take that. The one's on here certainly couldn't take a touch of criticism that perhaps OK Computer and Radiohead are good but perhaps not the best. Yet the fans insist they're number one and couldn't possibly be anywhere else.

That's exactly why it sold so many. Because you can't just like them. You have to show ultimate devotion or loathe them.

Another point is that I don't think OK Computer is their best album.

Of albums I actually own, I have about 6, but about 10 or 11 downloaded ones.

Arguably.

Arguably.
